Absolutely! I don't think Quake is intended to be the latest version of 
AD&D! I for one wouldn't want it to be. Sure, have a few simple spells 
and such to promote the 'God' feeling, but I wouldn't want to have to 
keep track of dozens of spells, classes, & armor classes. It seems that 
a lot of people want to see all sorts of D&D stuff brought into Quake 
and I just don't think it's going to happen (or at least I hope not :)

For people who want that, probably the best you can hope for is that 
someone will make an AD&D version of Quake after it's released. I've 
heard that Quake will be completely configurable, so maybe it'll be 
possible. Who knows?
